Tyrell, Inc. has a product out called "Zeno", designed to remove a pimple from your skin by zapping it with heat.
The company claims that 90% of all acne cases is caused by a bacteria called, "p. acnes". They developed a technology they call "ClearPoint" that uses heat to destroy the bacteria. This heat is low enough that it doesn't damage skin.
Zeno's treatment regimen is two to three treatment cycles of two and a half minutes each over 12 to 24 hours, and is said to remove 90% of acne blemishes within 24 hours.
Zeno is the first FDA-cleared medical device designed for over-the-counter use on mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

Hmm, what ever will dermotologists do if this works??? I can't see buying it myself, although teenagers might make it a super seller. Hope there is a follow up to find out if it really works.
Perhaps they will continue to diagnose skin disease and treat skin cancer?
Hmmm...what if they combined it with the iPod Nano? That should get some teenage attention.
so the IPOD will end up costing 600 dollars and will break if you drop it..... bad idea.... good thought
I think the product is cool. I checked out their site www.myzeno.com and looks like Zeno is legit. It's a better alternative than Retin A, and not being able to go out in the sun.
I actually have one and like it. I have used it for a week now and tried it on a few friends and it definitely decreased the amount of healing time. I have a problem of dark spots if I pick at a pimple and with this I don't have to pick anymore.
I have been doing this my whole life with a zippo. Light it, let the cover heat up a bit, then apply.
I have it, it works, it's amazing. This empowers me to take care of the breakout without damaging my skin or taking drugs.
I love the 21st century!
Why $200-$300 ? I am a full time student and work full time to pay fro school. I can't spend $225 for it at one time. Can't it be a little cheaper for College students?????
Thanks,

Hey,
Does that Zippo thing work for you? And this device, I really would like to try it, but seriously, $225, that's way overpriced. Also, if it helps clear your face up, what should you use to keep new ones from forming?
Go to Ebay to buy much cheaper. Mine arrives in the mail soon. I have mild acne and this in it self will not stop acne but will lessen the healing time. Will report back after my use.
$199 found at www.livelyskin.com
$202 at www.ExpressionLines.com
can't find it cheaper
I was really dispointed with Zeno. It didnt heal the breakout, but did make it more red and irriated.
I just read a news article in which a doctor says the Zeno Zit Zapper works.
Zeno Zit Zapper News Article
NO, IT DOES NOT WORK. The guys running this company used to market DIAPERS, for crying out loud, until THAT business failed. The cited studies were funded by these nuts, not independent researchers and they don't take returns - RED FLAG!!!! Don't buy it.
it seems to work on my daughter, but we have a wierd problem with it. we have an Invisible Fence for our dogs -- so they wear the collar. when she used the zeno, it triggers the collar and the dogs go nuts. anyone else have this problem?
This thing works by killing bacteria, so it can't actually cure your acne. From the user reviews that I've read Zeno seems to work if you catch a pimple early on.

I was very interested in buying this until i saw the price and that you have to buy replacement tips.....for $35 How often do you have to replace the tips?
You have to chance the tip every 90 uses, so each last a bit.
You can find them on ebay for quite cheap, I have a brand new one that was only 150. it's still a lot though.
Look for replacement tips on ebay too.
Instead of buying this product. You can boil water and take a face cloth and dip it in the boiling water. roll the cloth up to make a point and place it on a pimple until you feel a sharp pain, then remove. this should make a noticable difference within an hour.
Iam so glad that someone made something to make acne better try it.
the zit zapper is only good on pimples that are not white or black heads you still have to use other products to prevent future breakouts I think I am going to try a Microdermabrasion yeah its like $450 dollars 200 more then the zit zapper
selling at $150. not $225, at walgreens or walgreens.com....75 less dollars sounds good!
I saw the product today at walgreen's for about $150. Still expensive, but cheaper than whats been posted earlier.
i want to try it now, sounds amazing. The thing with boiling water, yeah same concept, but this thing u can put in ur pocket and do it secretly from anyone else. CHECK ebay, www.ebay.com, they sell it for under $100 or close to a hundred, save some money for college
IT FREAKING SUCKS! DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP! IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH IT! IT MADE ME ALMOST DIE! MY SKIN GOT A WEIRD REACTION..and fell off!
love,
becky
Has the product been tested by independent researchers?
i want a zeno so bad but reading this makes me wonder, i mean soem say yes some say no. what to believe? lol, but if i can get it at 100 it would be great because im just a teenager,but my parents dont buy me nething these days,so id have to get it myself,but to tell u the truth i dont care cause god gave me pimples so love 'em,lol, thanks!!!!
hallie
its a money back garuntee isnt it? it cant work for everyone... proactive never worked for me and its supposed to work for EVERYONE. i want to use this, but $200? heck i could get 3 or 4 facials in a year that would clear my face up for that price...
There is a 30 day money back gurantee. Which is plenty of time to determine if ZENO works on your skin. It's great for those inopportune times when an outbreak occurs (like having a hot date the next night!)
I would highly recommend ZENO. If you have more in depth questions you can always visit their website at www.myzeno.com.

I just got it this morning, and I used it earlier today, about 5 hours later, these huge nasty zits from before, had shrunk to half their size! I haven't had it long enough to make a definite decision, but so far this is a miracle (on my skin at least)
I'm 13 so maybe this works best on teens? I am not sure though because on other websites there are adults raving over this as well.
This product is does work.
Its much easier then doing anything like using a Zippo Lighter or a hot cloth, and its much more effective.
Considering it now only costs $145.00 at CVS and Walgreans Drug stores.. I'd say its hella worth it.
I've spent $145.00 dollars in creams before I ever saw any results.
Its good if you only have a few problem areas, I don't know how it works to people with serious acne.
Mine is only 3 or 4 zits, and they managed to disappear within 36 hours after using the Zeno 3 times.
Yes, there is some redness RIGHT after application, but that goes away in about 20 minuets, so just give yourself some time for your skin to calm down before you go back out.
I use it all the time when I see a new blemish starting, and it's gone before it even has a chance to become a full blown zit.
10 out of fucking 10
Dont waste your money. It burned my pimple and with that my face left a scar...
It does not work very unhappy with this purchase.
I cured acne after reading a book called No Acne for Me. I thought there were no cure or treatment but apperently I looked the wrong places. Acne free and acne cure - get this book.
have you tried http://www.noacneforme.com/ I bought it last month and it is surprisingly well written informative and it helped med to get rid of my pimples in just under 2 weeks
i got one and we got it with our insurance card its considered a medical device so some of yal may be able to get it depending on what your insurance covers
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET NESSS I LOVE THIS PRODUCT IT IS AMAZING TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOULL LOVE IT TOO. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HEAT ITS SO COOL AND IT FEELS SO GOOD ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU USE IT.
I KNOW THERE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY WORK GREAT YOU WONT REGRET IT I PROMISE:)
Theory behind Zeno does make sense. Heat does kill bacteria. So applying heat on a pimple should kill the bacteria inside it and thus reduce the pimple faster.Whether it actually works outside academic papers and contemplation is another matter.I haven't used it, but I did some research on various acne forums and (as usual) opinions vary quite a bit.

Preparing for surgery can be a big undertaking. As part of your preparation don't forget to get all your questions answered before the surgery.
Acne Scar Removal News & Discussion
I'm 12 almost 13 and have been suffering from acne quite badly for almost 2 years now and rely need something done about it then i heard about the zeno spot zapper!
but i desperatly need one but i seriously cannot afford this!!!!!
it would be fun if this was a gun you could shoot your friends with it
myzeno.com has it for 39.99 but idk if it works i wana find out
they have the cheaper option zeno hotspot now which is $39.99, but the catch is that it comes with 80 uses, but after that you have to throw it away! Which sux, because that means you'll have to keep paying $40 dollars to keep buying it!
This looks like an interesting product but there are cheaper and more effective ways of treating your acne. This type of product will need to prove itself before it takes off.
